Goodbye, Sweet Blue Eyes (Take 1) Lyrics

Can't you hear the chorus

Playing under the chords

Every song has some great words

That all the normal people ignore

Some get understated

Some get overdubbed

And mark's last words

Were lost on the floor

When the band never hit record

So goodbye, sweet blue eyes

You never were my best

You never told me to stop the roam

You just told me to drop the act

You said the songs that you're writing

Never come out right

They stare at you from on top the shelf

And they look like you at night

You put your best ideas in the corner

And sweep them out under the rug

But i'm a gravedigger on a cloudy day

And i've come to dig em up

We sort them out on a pedestal

Eager to sort out each note

When i leaned in to read what you wrote

You turned and kicked me out

And from down on the pavement

I heard you sing in jest

Well goodbye, sweet blues

You never were my best

Goodbye, sweet blues

You never knew the rest

The rattlesnake heart

Was my favorite part

But you'll never know the rest
